More quotes by Peter Berg
I believe that anything in this world is fair game for a creative exercise.
Peter Berg
You might make a lot of money, but it's very hard to get out from under that rug. The more you can reinvent yourself, the better - and unfortunately TV is designed not to let you redesign yourself.
Peter Berg
One of the things that's fascinating about making movies is a movie when it's done and you start showing it to people, it reveals its impact, which is often times not what you thought.
Peter Berg
I somewhere along the way became fascinated with exploring characters who are willing to put themselves into violent situations, whether it's football, hockey, boxing, being a cop, being a soldier. There's not a lot of people who are willing to put themselves into those situations.
Peter Berg
I think I've been fortunate enough to have a fairly long career and hopefully I'm at the middle of it now. And I think I'm starting to develop a certain amount of experience and a certain amount of wisdom about kind of what really matters and what doesn't matter.
Peter Berg
You look for inspiration, I do, that got me going.
Peter Berg
What kind of town do we want in the future, and how are we going to plan on that?
Peter Berg
Working with composers often is a really frustrating experience because you speak a different language and, oftentimes, they take two or three jobs, at the same time. They're difficult and pretentious and they're tormented artists.
Peter Berg
The big fun in Battleship is that there are no current battleships in the Navy today. The battleships are about 1,000 feet long and they have huge guns. They were what you saw in WWII. The last battleship that was used was the Missouri, which is what the Japanese surrendered to...
Peter Berg
I did not want 'Battleship' to be perceived as an American war film. I wanted to do everything I could to make the film accessible to a global audience. It felt like bringing an alien component to the film would help take the American jingoism out of it.
Peter Berg
I'm a huge fan of the Navy. My father was a Naval historian, and I've been studying Naval battles forever.
Peter Berg
Hollywood is not stupid, contrary to popular belief it's really a lot of intelligent people trying to figure things out.
Peter Berg
Michael Mann's always been one of my heroes.
Peter Berg
I don't like alien films where you don't get to see the aliens.
Peter Berg
You know to me, being a good actor, the most important quality is you've got to love to play, and to just be open to anything.
Peter Berg
I try to preload as little as I can. I like to come to the set with minimal preparation.
Peter Berg
Truth is, we offered it to Tom Hanks, which pretty much every movie in America does, but Tom passed. Billy Bob said that Hanks recently called and said he's voting for all of us for Oscars, he loved the film.
Peter Berg
I like films that are about two hours not more.
Peter Berg
You're in the middle of making a movie and this part of the process is always very interesting. Because you think what you're making your movie is and then you start putting it out there, and then people tell you what your movie is.
Peter Berg
I've been a big believer in musicians turned actor, going back to Sinatra winning the Oscar for 'From Here To Eternity.' David Bowie in 'Man Who Fell to Earth,' Kris Kristofferson's been great in a bunch of films. Liza Minnelli, Barbra Streisand, Mariah Carey, I thought was great in 'Precious.
